I promised to make a little bag for my granddaughter to take to her ballet class. Big enough for shoes and a water bottle. This measures 9.5 high by 10 wide at the top. I made a hard bottom insert so it stays up nice. I had to make something for her brother, so I found this fish fabric and matched it up with some orange(his favorite color). Grandma almost wanted to keep it for herself.

I made six Eco friendly/reusable snack bags today. The cupcake bags are all a little different, I tried different methods and finally found one with number four. The Arctic ones were easy, just added a flap as I used directional fabric. The craziness in me said I didn't want the flap to have upside down heads. I used ripstop nylon for the inside in all of them. I put some sale candy in there as they are going for gifts this weekend. The candy was 75% off at Target, score!

Cowboy vintage look Click & Go Stroller Bag ﻿available on my Etsy shop. The wristlet was made from a pair of corduroy pants I found at the thrift shop. Washed of course, I like the look of washed/worn corduroy.

Four draw-string bags made for a friend, long overdue. She send me the fabric before Christmas and I just got around to making them. Now to get them in the mail... Might be longer Joyce.

﻿No sewing tonight, my back is acting up. One of my Poop or Deux Bags sold at an upscale pet shop. The owner took three on consignment, I go back tomorrow and see if she wants anymore or if the other two sold. Very exciting! I know, I lead a boring life.

The reusable grocery totes were super easy to make. Trying to use up my stash. As always, click on the pictures to make them bigger.

I like anything snowmen and the color orange.
